Farmyard
Animals
Half a mile along the road from Dykehead lies the
hamlet of Cullow, where a market and sheep fair used to be held. In
the 1840s between eight and twelve thousand sheep were brought in
over Jock’s Road and other drove roads for auction at Cullow on the
4th Monday in October and the last Friday in April.
Today nothing remains of the market but the whole area around here
must have been white with sheep when the market was on!
As this
cache is primarily a childrens cache, any adults logging it must
post a picture of themselves doing a farmyard animal
impression.
Cache is more easily accessed if you walk up with
the wall on your left hand side.
When we set the cache, the only animals to be seen
were sheep! However since then the field seems to be used by
cows and a particularly large bull. We will hopefully move this
cache to a more sensible place in the near future but until then
please be sensible and BEWARE OF THE
BULL
